A. Depends. We now have a suggestions page so feel free to ask what texture you would like to see.
Q. OMG FAKE! LOLOL YOU JUST ARE UBER PWNSOME AT VIDEO EDITING AND PIC EDITING OLOLOL! HOW DID YOU DO THIS?

A. First of all, this is not fake. If you still think so, then get lost. Second, we made this using Pharrox’s guide (Not anymore, ASH is used now). (Actually, now we use BrawlBox)

Q. How did you make those textures?

A. It’s quite…long to explain so if you have a specific question about how to do a certain thing related to texture hacking, feel free to ask me or any other members of the team.

Q. Will these textures ever be released someday?

A. Check the roster. Most have downloads.

Q. If I get your textures, will they work online? I want to own my friends as (name here) so badly!

A. Yes, they will perfectly work online. The only thing is that only you will see them, unless the person you are brawling with also has the texture(s).

Q. Will this brick my Wii?

A. Short answer: no. There’s no way this can brick your Wii.

Q. Do I need a modchip to use the textures? If no, what do I need?

A. No, you do not need any modchip but that doesn’t mean you cannot use one to texture hack. What you need though, is the homebrew channel, an ISO of brawl and the backup loader. (You just use an SD Card and File Patch code) For more information about how to install/get those, ask me.

Q. My question is not here! Help me!

A. If you have a question that is not located in this FAQ, then you can always ask the team about it in the comments below or in our IRC Channel.

Q. Do you have a IRC Channel?

A. If you did read the previous question, you would know the answer. Yes, we do have one. Go to http://esper.net/pjirc/. When you’re there, type /join #elitesmashhackers.

Okay coins I know your problem. Had the same problem. But what you wanna do is go back into the guide where it tells you type everything for ntcompress copy that, open up note pad, backspace until there all on the sam line and space to make sure that its all spaced on the same line. Example:

ntcompress -l -o Link.txt -A4 -t1 -s -H FitLink00new.pac

^ Just like that only insert your characters name and stuff it.
Hope it Helps!

@xeroforever
You know when you use SSBExtract and in the end you can have 3 folder. Texture, palletes and 3DModels.
I have already got some 3D models ffrom the internet and i’m looking on obtaining the other ones.
I want to use 3D models so i can preview my textures before i go though all the hassle of putting them in the game.

Email BigSharkZ, unfortunately I can’t help you with that, because I have never ran into the problem. I use Corel Paint Shop Pro XI, so I guess it does it for me or something. But, fortunately for you BigSharkZ had the same problem so here is his email: GokuSSJ15@live.com

Before we can convert the images back into .tpl files, we have to create a file telling TexConv how to convert each texture. Released with this tutorial was a .txt file named “TCS Guide”. Open it. It should contain the following:

There wasn’t. Does anybody know how I can get around this?

Also, the guide says you can skip this I think if you have TCS Edit. Does anybody know where I can get this?

I’m not sure if this is the best place to put this, but either it’s a site glitch or maybe it’s just me. It says every comment was posted at 6:16, every comment on the site. The date changes, but the time is always 6:16. Is this happening to anyone else, or is it just on my computer?

it is possible to replace the 3D models from Brawl instead of texture hacking?
like replacing Brawl’s Snake with Gordon Freeman, or even using the Mario 64 DS instead of the Mario From Brawl?just a question, because i noticed something, in garry’s mod, the characters use the same type file. that would be the BIGGEST step in hackig history!

I need help hacking kirby. I am following ]EE[‘s guide and at the “Repacking the textures without TCS Editor portion. When I make the .tpl files for kirby’s normal eyes they are 9 kb, instead of the normal 3kb. His skin went from 1kb to 16kb. Is he mipmapped or did I make a mistake?

You guys could pretty easily release .pcs files like Stack Smash did. We know where to put them now, and how to convert some to .pac and such. (You’ll need to release a couple .pac files, for Pokemon Trainer FS and such…) It should be very easy to use wiiscrubber and right click a pcs file, hit save, and put it somewhere, then upload onto a site and put the link here.

srsly everyone who wants these but doesn’t know how wants a guide right? can someone point me in the direction of a guide cause i’ve looked everywhere most sites don’t have them and google just show you pictures of people on forums saying look at t3h pretty texture. i do want these but i have no idea how to get them. help plz?

Talking about a guide, I’m going to upload one on YouTube soon! (It currently has problems but I’ll upload it once it will be fixed)

@Tom Gibbons

Just open Wii Scrubber 1.21, be sure to have they key.bin, find your character’s pac and pcs, right-click them, replace them with your own .pac and .pcs, close Wii Scrubber, burn your ISO, play it with CIOSCORP or the backup launcher.

@Sonicbje

I’m sorry I don’t really know. I’m sure you will find out another place to get it, just search on google.

As for joining, we currently don’t really need members. But I do need someone who is ready to hex something from 3:30 pm to 10:30 pm, at any time between those hours. ASH seems to hate me and creates a wrong file, apparently (That’s what Star said). I would lol hard if I did create the good files and he could just not test them correctly.

Well I got a job interview in a couple hours for a job on the first. I’ll most likely be working from 8-4, then from 4:30 on I should be good to work, just give me a kink to learn to hex and in a few days I should be good to go. !,,!. o(>.<)o

I got a question. I know brawl needs a double layer DVD-R to put it on, but is it possible to use a double layer DVD+RW so that you can make textures, and re-write the game on the DVD+RW instead of burning a new double layer DVD-R each time?

But its not like your paying me or anything, like everyone else we hack/texture hack for our love of the game. What would one more person hurt? it doesnt really, unless they dont to their part. I’d do my part, buts its cool. I could ask around I suppose…

Hi, I would like to know how to get some Textures you have created and how can I actually use them in Brawl. What software/hardware do I need and how to use it (for both: using textures and create textures)? I would like to have Fierce Deity Link, Shadow Queen, Ganon’s Puppet Zelda, Dry Bowser, Mr. L, Shadow Mario (with red eyes), Shadow, Metal Sonic, Sonic the Werehog, Shiny Charizard, Shadow Lugia, Dark MetaKnight, Dark Samus, SA-X, Palutena (on Peach or Zelda), Omega Ridley (on Ridley), Shiny Rayquaza. You don’t have some of these yet tough. Your help will be highly appreciated

Hey, how did you guys get sonic’s eyes to work properly? I mean like I tried tex hacking Sonic, and everything else ws fine except his eyes, when the whites of his eyes were just…black. How can I fix that?

does tabuu has any textures?
if it does, make a red Tabuu and his stage (change the blue to red)
and you have an ault Giygas
BTW : did you know the similarities of the ”Ungraspable attack” of giygas
and the ”Wave attack” of Tabuu???

hey guys me n my friend have the textures hacks but we cant see eachother online with them. do we both have to have the same exact codes? example if im shadow(sonic) and he is roy(ike) do i have to have the roy(ike) code on my wii as well to see his? or does both of us having gecko n homebrew enough? cuz we cant see eachother

Hey, I am trying to create a stage. I have the 001.bin.out and am trying to use ntcompress to compress it to 001.bin. Problem is, I can’t get it to work. I followed the ]EE[ guide and even tried to convert a .pac to a .pcs. No file shows up.

I don’t know why but the gimp does not work on my computer. I konw i’m using the right one for my computer (i’ve got vista and the one i’m using says it’s for XP and up) and it frezes every time I try to load it while it’s starting up

Grrrrrr. I’m using paint.net and i’ve edited a kirby but I keep getting a message that says: “Error: The image you have provided isn’t valid. It will be ignored.”
What do I do now did I make a texture that dosen’t work?

Okay, so, is there anyway to do this on a Mac? I enjoy doing all this homebrewy stuff, but so far I haven’t found a way to do this on Mac. Probably ’cause I haven’t actually looked, but if I tried to figure it out by myself, I would probably inadvertently asplode my Wii. Thanks much!

Sorry to ask but i was being Luigi in classic mode and i put the difficulty on hard and i had 5 stock when i got to master hand i vs crazy hand at the same time does anyone know how this hppend
note: i didnt die until i got to master hand and crazy hand

Also back on to texture hacking i’m using ash and have made my file but I can’t figure out how to make the files useable with the seccond part. It keeps telling me that the file is not correct or something like that what do I do?

when u open the file does it have a +2 or +1 at teh end of it? if so, you’ll have to color the area around the eye magenta. 1st go to image > Color table and enter in this for the color red-255 green-0 blue-255, then you you have to select teh black part of teh image with teh magic wand tool, and color it in with that color using the paintbrush. then when youre done, go to Image > indexed color and when teh window comes up, click okay. then that should work

Hey i’m having real problems with my texture hack i’ve created it but I can’t get step two of ASH to work i’ve tried everything I could think of. If no one can figure out what’s wrong with it can I e-mail the texture to someone and see if they can fix the problem?

hey guys, im new to making my own textures. id like to know how you put a design on a character. like for example, on olimars arm, is his hocotate stamp thing. now id like to put a different design in its place. how do i do so?

Your textures are making me relive brawl and I’m happy for ever touching my wii again…, but a major problem I have is some situation with random freezing in the game due to these textures. I DO rename the files according to the costume value i wanted and as wished, all the textures show perfectly with the choices I made. With all the freezing going on, I followed this really hassling method of avoiding it (played with one texture per map, waited 5 seconds per character choice and 30 seconds before each match), but the frozen screen and awful sound would show up eventually.

This also happens with a friend I have, so I’m sure we’re not the only ones with this problem. I don’t have “an ISO of brawl and the backup loader” and do not know what they are or why i need them. I also did not use this Wiiscrubber 1.21 and Lz77Ex I hear about. Seems like nobody has explained the full purposes of these apps and i don’t want to waste time getting them for no solution.

It’s a lot to read but I’d be grateful if anybody would help me through this situation. This texture thing really helps me love the game. Thanks.

Assuming all the files are 100% correct make sure the file is compatiable with Gecko os. Becuse Stages like Gygas Destanation will freeze and can mess up the game but that can be fixed. Go into my music and click on every single stage if the game frezes when you click on a stage it means the music was messed up and can be fiexed by using the My music reset codes (I posted them on the music page) If that does not work make sure the files are set up like this (i’ll use ike as an example)

Privite>Wii>APP>RSBE>PF>Fighter>Ike>FITIKE00.PAC

Make sure ur not naming it fitike00.pac.pac if it’s allready a .pac file type you don’t allways need to put the .pac at the end.

Thanks, but the my music idea didn’t seem to work. I had never hacked any music files if that was what you thought. Just several characters, a few stages, and a stage builder stage and parts. No file extensions were repeated btw. I sometimes could get through a full match with textures on and other times I can’t. It is just random freezing here and there.

I tried something new by removing all the TGA files on the card, but I had the same results if not worse results than before. I’ve only tested them in basic brawl matches and in the training room. What I’ve noticed is that some of my texture files are PAC files despite being on characters that supposedly do not need them (Snake and Link). Could that be part of the problem? Or could it be the 3.5.1 file patch–should I use an earlier file patch if I’m not interested in hacking music?

But like I mentioned, should I get Lz77ex and Wii Scrubber 1.2.1 or will this be a waste of my time. Also despite this FAQ telling me that I need an “ISO of brawl and the backup loader” I never found these requirements on other guides. Is this just an alternative method to Gecko or is this a need in itself?

the .pac file for every character contains there moveset data and physics for that character. They r altered in a way so the character has less landing lag and moves faster. Attacks flow more smoothly also. So in short no don’t remove them.

Hey I have a question, how do I become a member on this site. I’m a member on wordpress but here I can’t do anything. I have a cool texture I want to upload and show here but I can’t do that. Will someone please explain to me the process to becoming a member on this site.

Hi, I wanted to ask about the names on the textures. Sometimes, when I name them (Fit______XX.psc), the numbers don’t correspond to the correct placements. I’m not exactly sure why, but some go where they are supposed to, and some just don’t. I was wondering if every character is slightly different, or if I’m doing something wrong.

A. No, you do not need any modchip but that doesn’t mean you cannot use one to texture hack. What you need though, is the homebrew channel, an ISO of brawl and the backup loader. For more information about how to install/get those, ask me.

i cant seem to get my wii to read the texture hacks. my code manager has the only downloaded code i can find for brawl, but the code doesnt include texture hacks. it has texture swapping, character/texture swapping, and costume replacement. i tried the first two, and they did not work. does the last one sound like the right one? its really confusing to me and i cant get it to work.

I’m having the same problem but instead of a black screen it freezes at “Ready for next brawl” and I have to do the force shut-down thing (hold power button for 5 seconds). I’ve been searching the net for about month but I got nothing, can someone have any theories of what’s wrong.

Hey, im not asking much, but i need a favor. If someone can get ike to have brown hair and green eyes, then i can handle the rest.

now i have read most of this faq, and saw you can convert pcs files to pac, but the website was down. if you cant do the above, then i need you to download and convert the pcs file in this website. i can work around my normal problems if you can do this.

Hi, since this the F.A.Q section, I would like to ask, is there a way to put a moveset hack seperated to one color change of a character? Or does it have to be used by all color changes. Let’s say I have a textureof Fierce Deity Marth and I want to seperate the moveset I downloaded from here called Assassin Marth I think it was, just for him and not the other textures. Is that possible?

i would like a favor done. I know its not right to take from other people and change it, but i would like someone to edit a moveset for sonic that i have. If i remember right, its called “Chaos Controll” something or other, and its really cool and all, but there are 2 things i want changed. i want the taunts not to summon items, and the spikes done like shadow. there may be a few of the same name, so if you can edit these 2 things and would like to help, ill upload it to my mediafire account. everything else is fine, but for machinima purposes, these 2 things would help. write me back on my youtube account. ZEROxRisingChaos

thanks in advance.
(when its done, send it to me directly so no probems by the creator)

u cant, some textures, especially face textures (except snakes), r mirrored. There is a way to make it not miror but it is complicated and involves hexing and crap and even if u manage to do it the other half of his face will just be white and have no textures on it.

Lmao I tried for hours to get textures i downloaded the homebrew got that working got gecko os cant get a code manager i cant figure where stuff goes im soooo agravated 😦 I wish someone could jsut ship me a Sd card with everything settled lol…. so goodbye Dreams of using textures (*cries*) QQ 😦

@Everyone Can anyone else make there sd card with some hacks liek shadow or so make a file and send me them via email? I would appreciate it a whoel ton im to stupid to figure it out ;( i got hombrew down but the files and stuff to hard lol. 😦

You´ll also need this code: 0477F8EC 60000000
It allows the alloys to have victory poses, but it doesn´t work on PAL.

My question: I gave FitSheik00.pac Link’s model and textures and it works if I start with Sheik. I can also change to Zelda without problems, but if I change from Sheik to Zelda the game freezes. Help please!

@Escargot and xANDER
this is not a “talk to eachother” section. this is a faq. ask questions on “how to”, or “what is” crap. no one else wants to see your email or know that your adding eachother. no one gives a fuck. your takin up space, so take your conversation elsewhere.

now my faq question.
I got smash attacks the other day and have no clue what im doing. is there anyway possible to do a “Frame by Frame” PSA?
that would be a hell of alot easier than punching in numbers and selections if i cant see what im doing.

Hello 🙂
I added textures for the firstime in a big pack,
I recently added newer textures but when I go to the brawl screen it will show the OLD textures in the screen where you select the colour, but as I’m playing it will show the new textures,
Im sorry It just bugs me, anyway to fix this?? 🙂
Thank you for your time soooo much!!!

and… WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR PAGE!? It might just be my laptop, but everything looks… boring. i dunno if you changed it, but i like the other one better. (or maybe your editing and had to switch to this. dunno, just sayin.)

hey, um, i wanna know how to use PSA hacks.
I don’t want to know how to make em’, but i wanna know how to use it in brawl (like a pre-made psa characater, e.x. Shadow the hedgehog)
what is the file placement or anything? do i need a modchip or a code? PLZ help.

Hey igot question i want to use my waluigi hack thats on a red alloy but i cant get the alloys playable. the texture wroks on them when i play 100 man brawl but i can get him as a choosable character plz helP!

I’m not well conditioned in this practice, but I’ve been using brawlbox and have ran into a snag. I can’t seem to get any texture to work with Bowser that I make. Anything I make doesn’t show up on Brawl even though most others that I’ve downloaded work. Is there some prejudice concerning Bowser that I’m unaware of?

Can anyone give me a code that will cure the freeze on the black loadign screen after loadign thre gecko os? Im using Csp and css and it keeps freezing liek a mother fer ive changed the files to Lz77 and tried all sorts of codes i dont know what do do i had it workign at one point but when i tried a stage it froze so i deleted the stage but the stage took all my fiels alogn with including the common5.pac which ive recovered but lost the oodes. please helP!

Hey I would love to find out how to do all this hacking and stuff I’ve gotten to the point where I actually have the Homebrew Channel; but I would always get lost at a point where I have to use Ocarina or something like that (I do realize the way ppl are hacking SSBB has changed, so I’m kinda unfamiliar with instructions) Could someone help me?

is there a tutorial for model hax? not editing moves, just putting a model on a different character.
i got it to appear in brawlbox, but my friend tested it for me and it was pure white, i tested it and it froze. i just want the character to appear without motionect or psa to go with it. what do i need to do? do i need to rename bones or something like that?

yes there is a way but u have to edit the vertex points for the costume to do so. So in ur case u will have to edit sonics spines to look like shadows spines on one costume then u can pose them together.

you mean the vertex points in sonic.pac be cause i downloaded rosalina.pac and in brawl box it looks like her but when i put it in brawl it was still peach not even the texture changed after wards i added the motion file and it till wasn’t working any idea what went wrong?

Im working on a playable Metal Gear Ray. So far so good, but i still need some help. Is anyone willing to help me make a PSA? He replaces Yellow Alloy. Ill send you what i got if your willing to help. (i will not send to people outside this team unless you prove you can make actual decient PSAs)

Hey, I’m new to replacing files on the SD card. Right now, I’m trying to replace a Viewtiful Joe vertex hack over Captain Falcon, but it only came with the .pcs . I tried putting it in Captain Falcon’s folder, but when I loaded up the game, the regular Captain Falcon came up. How do I apply the vertex hack to Captain Falcon? Please help.

Also, I wouold like to know how to set different PSA characters to different character slots (AKA character colors) I’ve seen it done before on Youtube, but someone told me coding is required to do this. I am not experienced in coding, so I would like help on this problem too.

do i have to rename the file for models? should i delete the original character? for example delete sonic and the put in maskelos shadow file (then rename file?) ugh this would be much simpilar if i saw a video =/

i’m new to verticing, i found out how to open the files in blender and move the vertices, (kinda :/, can’t find an actuall tutorial for that part) but when i finnish with the vertice hack and insert it on the model it explodes with infinate lines! i don’t know what i’m doing wrong, can any one help? if u need me to i can send a pic of the problem.

Everyone knows of the Ichigo port on Mk, right? anyone know how to make the mask visible with his hallow eyes? remove the polygons 4,6,and 20.
also, without the psa, his hands and feet are invisible (if i remember right. might need to test that to be sure). anyone know how to fix that?

wow… its been a while and im still the last one to post something here.

ok, im going to ask the most stupid question that i might get yelled at for, but i have to ask… there are wii emulators out there, is there a way to activate hacks in an emulator? or is there a separate emulator, specificly for hacking?
(currently no access to wii, that is why im asking)

Hey, I downloaded MASTERLINKX’S brawl texture pack, and his brtsms, installed homebrew channel on my friends wii. Now, I’m just confused on where to place the files on my SD Card. Like where i do put Gecko, or the other rar files?

Good day! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which
blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

here is a hint, if anyone posts ANYTHING about how to install homebrew, then get naked wario and make it their screen saver. since they have to be incompetent, they will never figure out how to change it. going over homebrew installation is about as intelligent as telling people how to use their mouse.

What i do not realize is in truth how you’re no
longer really a lot more smartly-liked than you may be right now.
You are very intelligent. You know thus considerably with regards to this matter, made me in
my view believe it from so many various angles. Its like women and men aren’t
interested unless it is one thing to do with Lady gaga!
Your personal stuffs nice. At all times maintain
it up!

I am really impressed together with your writing skills and also with the structure in your blog.
Is that this a paid topic or did you customize it yourself?
Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it’s uncommon to look a nice weblog like this one nowadays..
